Angie Taylor
State Assembly District 26
By Kayla Johnson
The primary election being held on June 8 is quickly approaching. Dr. Angie Taylor, candidate for Assembly District 26, has been diligently campaigning throughout the community for votes.
Taylor, one who has always been interested in politics, said she feels that this is the right time for her to get involved in political affairs.
“This is a defining moment for Nevada,” Taylor said. “Nevada needs good people to make hard decisions and I have stepped up and come forward.”
Taylor’s platform is based off of three main issues: education, jobs/small business development and renewable energy.
“The job market is impacting everyone and we have to figure out how to create more jobs and stabilize them,” Taylor said.
Education is also a main issue that Taylor feels has been forever impacted.
“The important key here is to develop ourselves economically. We need to show workers that they can bring their families here and we will educate their kids suitably,” Taylor said.
“Reform is necessary,” Taylor said. “Teacher evaluations, student achievement and resource distribution needs to be looked at sooner, rather than later.”
Compared to her opponent, teacher Michael Maupin, Taylor has further experience under her belt within the Nevada community.
“My depth of experience is broader, more comprehensive and diverse,” Taylor said. “I have had 20 years in education, many years in public service and leadership positions.”
“I have worked with people from all walks of life,” Taylor said. “We are two very different candidates.”
Taylor, a former UNR Associate Vice President for Student Success Services, Assistant Vice President for Development and Alumni Relations and Senior Associate Director of Athletics understands what her duty will be if elected.
“If elected Assembly women it will be my job to take part in enacting laws and to represent those concerns and the will of the people to the legislature,” Taylor said.
Besides holding many positions at the University, she also serves as a diversity and leadership consultant for Guardian Quest, LLP, proving workshops for non-profit clients across America.
Taylor is a prime example of what great opportunities are here for people in the Reno community.
“What I love about Reno is that we have tremendous opportunity,” Taylor said. “In Northern Nevada we have opportunities here that you may not get any other place.
“If you want to make a difference you can,” Taylor said. “It is important that people in the Reno community see people in prominent positions and help send the message to those who are younger or have similar aspirations.
As far as Taylor’s plan for renewable energy goes she said potential needs to maximized in the area.
“We have great potential, but things to be prioritized. Exporting energy to get more for the state would be best,” Taylor said.
In the future for Reno Taylor envisions it to continue growing, but at a slower rate.
“It is important for the people of Reno to have a good quality of life,” Taylor said. “I think we are going to get more and more diverse, especially in the local community.
